I just wanted to express our thanks for all the hard work and support given to (our son) and our family since his arrival at The New School. The transformation in him is incredible and in his own words ‘I’ve never been so happy. All the teachers and staff are so nice and kind and I want to do well.

In such a short time in an environment that feels safe and is nurturing, our daughter has flourished. She is now able to take part and enjoys lessons, drama, music and especially sports. She now looks forward to school and has made many friends.

I have to thank you for the endless patience, support and guidance you have given me over the years. It is sometimes difficult to express the range of emotions one experiences with a child like (my daughter). Some are expected, some are triggered by a very small incident or comment and are totally unexpected and you are taken unawares. No matter what I have been treated professionally, politely and above al with warmth and respect for which I can’t thank you all enough.
